假如比尔街可以作证

《月光男孩》导演巴里·杰金斯日前敲定新片，他将把知名作家詹姆斯·鲍德温的小说《假若比尔街能够讲话》(If Beale Street Could Talk)搬上大银幕，故事设定于上世纪70年代的纽约哈林区，主角是一对刚订婚的年轻情侣芬尼(Fonny)和蒂什(Tish)。芬尼被诬告强奸，而身怀六甲的蒂什将四处奔走寻找证据证明丈夫的清白。梅根·埃里森创立的安纳普尔纳将投资本片，也将和《月光男孩》制片公司Plan B、杰金斯本人的Pastel工作室一同制作本片，10月开拍。Baldwin's novel "follows Tish, a newly engaged Harlem woman who races against the clock to prove her lover's innocence while carrying their first born child. It's a celebration of love told through the story of a young couple, their families, and their lives."
